After summarizing, Su Er actually started a new round of speech.
The people around him were making convincing arguments, and Ji Heng felt strangely relieved when he saw another player who didn't get any food.
Now Soul was in high spirits and seemed to be looking for someone to share his thoughts with.
Ji Heng left him where he was and went to negotiate alone.
In fact, Su Er himself is not a person who likes to talk too much, but he just remembered that when he was doing the test paper before, the composition was an argumentative essay with the theme of original intention.
Now that inspiration has come, it's a good opportunity to exercise.
After finishing the 800-word essay in one breath, I looked up to find that Ji Heng had already gathered all the players. Shan Meng and Jin Liya were among them. Although they hadn't been borrowed, the questions they were asked were not simple.
In addition, there is a male player named Liu Wen.
All the people were standing on the upper stairs, staring at him with complicated eyes.
Su Er took the initiative to break the deadlock, locked his gaze on Shan Meng, and said something only they could understand: "Why didn't you continue the business?"
Shaving your head is a sure-win business.
Shan Meng: "I ran into the Ghost King in the middle of the night and almost died there."
When the word "Ghost King" came out, everyone's breathing quickened for a moment.
Liu Wen's voice was bitter: "I've played twenty dungeons before and after, and this is the first time I've heard of fighting the Ghost King."
But there is no better choice now. Turning the pages of a book is a war of attrition with ghosts, and lack of physical strength is quite fatal.
Taking a step back, who can guarantee that they will be able to answer the question correctly tomorrow?
After finishing the discussion of the heavy topic, everyone walked towards the broadcasting room in silence.
"So slow."
Jiang Yi was already waiting there, but a childish voice spoke.
Zhang Xiaohua sat by the windowsill, the fluttering butterfly wings on her hairpin were very conspicuous.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. God knows when he came up and saw a fierce ghost, he almost ran away.
Zhang Xiaohua had bad memories of milk, so she only brought bread, which she politely handed to the players one by one.
When Liu Wen took it, he felt flattered. But that feeling quickly turned to worry. It was never a good thing for a ghost to be too rational.
I took a bite first, and after several minutes without feeling any discomfort, I dared to start eating.
"It's not poisonous." Zhang Xiaohua was very tolerant of his distrust.
These people are still useful at the moment, and it won't be too late to catch and kill a few more of them after the task is accomplished.
While they were eating, Soul slowly said, "It's settled."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaohua smiled. "I'll make the first move. You guys find a place to hide and launch a surprise attack."
The player who was eating subconsciously raised his head.
"The Ghost King would never have thought that a human would dare to attack him, so he caught him off guard."
If you really can't beat her, you can always grab someone to use as a shield and escape alone.
Seeing through the other party's plan in an instant, Su Er had to admit that if this little girl lived and grew up, she would definitely be a ruthless character.
Ten minutes later, a makeshift ghost-fighting unit was hastily formed and moved in batches towards another low building.
The Ghost King's lair is at the corner of the second and third floors, and Sul and others are hiding on the first floor.
The little girl had disappeared, and the rest of the people looked at each other in confusion, and could only guess the current situation upstairs based on the sound.
"When are we going up?" Liu Wen asked in a very low voice.
Shortly after he asked the question, the whole building shook violently, and the mottled walls on both sides fell off.
Jin Liya was the most decisive at this moment: "Let's go!"
After saying this, he was the first to rush up.
Everyone knew there was no way out, so no one hid their abilities and they all ran upwards.
The fight between the two children was quite violent. Zhang Xiaohua had a big cut on his head, but the little boy was in much better condition.
He stretched his neck, opened his mouth, and pounced ferociously.
Jin Liya's props are three small peach wood swords. The swords arrive before she does.
The Ghost King was caught off guard and was tricked. The anger in his eyes almost ignited, and Zhang Xiaohua seized the opportunity to fight back.
In the chaotic battle, a bloody Zhang Xiaohua and a broken-armed Ghost King were separated by a powerful force. The overflowing airflow simultaneously flung the surrounding players against the wall.
The expected pain did not come, and a muffled groan sounded in his ears. Suer turned around and found that Ji Heng had made an air cushion for him.
"Are you okay?" Su Er quickly stood up straight.
Ji Heng shook his head, and when he looked up, he saw Master Dongfeng as expected.
...It's hard to say who is more unlucky, Suer or the host.
Dongfeng Jushi repeatedly disrupted Suer's plans, and of course the latter also caused trouble for the former.
Once again, the mission failed. Facing the messy "battlefield", the disappointment in Suer's heart was not as intense as in the previous times.
The goal was barely half achieved. Ghost King and Zhang Xiaohua were both seriously injured, and the host was not a philanthropist. The possibility of helping them recover their strength at the same time was very slim.
He was rarely wrong in his theoretical speculations that didn't involve luck. Dongfeng Jushi had a cold expression on his face, not even glancing at the two ghosts. Instead, he focused on the person behind the scenes: "Come with me."
The last time I heard this tone was when I failed the exam and was called to Yao Zhi's office for tea.
Su Er pursed his lips: "Just me?"
As soon as the question was asked, all the players except Ji Heng took a step back.
Jin Liya said softly, "It's come to this point, let's not sink into despair together."
Su Er looked up, knowing clearly that he was at best just a planner.
At the critical moment, Ji Heng said something sensible: "There is no violation, the host should not be too harsh."
If someone really lost their mind and wanted to harm the players, there would be no need to call them over.
Seeing that Su Er was called away alone, the little boy thought that this matter must have been his own fault and said in a mocking tone, "What a bunch of idiots! How dare you waste your time to deal with me."
His eyes swept over each face with resentment, and he pointed at Suer's departing back and said, "He took a pocket watch from me, which allows him to stay for forty-nine days."
That's why they act without any scruples!
Before the player could express his opinion, the wheelchair of Dongfeng Jushi in front suddenly stopped, making a harsh friction sound.
"What did you say?"
Caught off guard by the questioning, the little boy told the truth exactly as it happened.
"Forty-nine days..." Dongfeng Jushi muttered the number again, turned his head and looked sinister: "I really should have you beaten to death."
The Ghost King was dissed for no apparent reason.
Dongfeng Jushi changed his mind and looked at Su Er coldly: "You don't need to come."
Soul frowned slightly.
"Now I'm afraid I can't help but kill you."
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him as if she was looking at a dead person.
As soon as the host left, the scene suddenly became awkward.
Zhang Xiaohua was thinking about whether to kill someone to vent her anger, but the players quickly gathered together to prevent her from taking advantage of the situation.
"Just like before, you can only use some tricks." The little boy's arm was slowly recovering, and he looked at the more embarrassed Zhang Xiaohua with scrutiny.
Mr. Dongfeng did not say it explicitly, but before leaving, he sent separate messages to the two ghosts, explicitly forbidding them to kill each other within three months.
Not in the mood to pay attention to the clash between the ghosts, Jiang Yi asked Su Er out of pure curiosity: "Has it really been that long?"
Su Er nodded, and raised the Book of Answers, which was only half full. "Time has no effect on me."
Facts speak louder than words.
Even if there was something unpleasant about it, there was nothing to say after seeing that he had eliminated half of the answers.
Sur regained his composure, and facing the little boy's gaze that seemed to want to cut him into pieces, he looked back at him.
"Chen Ziwen?"
The little boy didn't feel strange that he could call out his own name. After all, these hateful humans had cooperated with Zhang Xiaohua.
"Why are you stronger than Zhang Xiaohua?"
Sur was very good at understanding his psychology. He would not get an answer by asking directly, but there was hope by using the little girl as a reference. The two had a fierce competitive relationship when they were alive.
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel emotional, as this matter had troubled her for a long time.
Chen Ziwen was surprisingly calm at this moment, and said word by word, "First place will always belong to me."
After saying that, he walked into the mirror.
Su Er felt that it was a pity that he would not be able to obtain more useful information.
Ji Heng: "Let's talk outside."
Before Suer responded, Liu Wen nodded heavily in agreement.
Facing two evil spirits, his legs were shaking.
Bathing in the sun again seems like a luxury.
Jiang Yi and the others had a good meal and didn't feel bad about it. However, they felt that Su Er and Ji Heng's style of doing things was too ostentatious, so they decided to act alone.
The short-lived alliance of interests collapsed.
Jin Liya and Shan Meng were both skilled and bold. Jin Liya simply blinked and said, "Together?"
Su Er looked at Ji Heng.
"Let them."
After Ji Heng expressed his opinion, as a temporary partner, Suer kindly shared the clues he had obtained so far.
A lot of useful information was obtained, and the last bit of resentment between Jin Liya and Shan Meng after their props were taken away was gone.
Shan Meng is experienced: "It's difficult to get a diploma by sheer luck."
There must be some kind of plan hidden in the copy, which can enhance your luck even if you don't worship the fox fairy.
Ji Heng agreed with him.
Borrowing luck is a vicious cycle, and few people will survive in the end. Although the game has a bad taste, there must be a hidden clue that can allow most players to survive, but it is generally difficult to find.
Su Er: "Unfortunately, all the paths I thought of before are blocked."
After a pause, he suddenly said, "I have an idea."
The moment he said this, Jin Liya and Shan Meng both felt like going their separate ways right away.
Suhr, lost in his own world, said, "Maybe the focus shouldn't be solely on the students."
Not all young children have the brains of Zhang Xiaohua. How could the teacher not know that there were so many fox spirit worshippers in the same class?
Jin Liya asked tentatively: "Is this what you want to say?"
"What else?"
Jin Liya was stumped by the question and smiled bitterly.
·
Practice is as important as hypothesis.
Having doubts, several people went to the teaching building again.
Suer and Ji Heng searched the office last night and only found some information about students. Now that they look at things from a different perspective, their focus has naturally changed.
Among the materials piled on the desk, in addition to lesson plans, there are also many honorary certificates. The teacher has been rated as an outstanding instructor for five consecutive years.
Suer recalled the scores in the report book and realized that the overall performance of the class was extremely excellent. Even the last student's score in a single subject was above 90.
Jin Liya walked over and looked at the lesson plan for a while: "From a teaching perspective, the lesson preparation is very serious... Huh?"
There was a crumpled piece of paper in the middle page, with childish handwriting on it.
"A confiscated note." Shan Meng took a look across the table and made a judgment. He had done this kind of thing in class many times before.
—Call Chen Ziwen after school and meet at the usual place.
There was a smiley face drawn on the note at the end.
Jin Liya glanced at the back and shook the lesson plan again, confirming that it was this one: "It didn't say where the old place was specifically."
"Activity room? Broadcasting room?" She finally joked, "The woods behind the school?"
Ji Heng rarely spoke since entering the office: "Before the school was abandoned, you needed a key to enter the first two places."
Su Er came to his senses and said, "It's unlikely outside of school."
This school is the main location of the dungeon, and the game won't actively encourage players to explore outside the school. After saying this, he inadvertently thought of a sailing operation in a certain dungeon and couldn't help but glance at Ji Heng.
Jin Liya looked up at the ceiling: "Could it be the playground?"
She and Shan Meng began to discuss the matter, and almost every place in the school was mentioned.
Ji Heng suddenly asked: "Why don't you consider the toilet?"
"…"
After making sure she didn't see any joke in her mind, Jin Liya turned serious and said, "Think about it carefully. The toilet is a good place to do bad things."
Occasionally, it becomes a hotbed for incidents such as smoking and bullying.
There was a toilet every two floors. Not sure which floor it was, Ji Heng and Suer went to the fifth floor, while the other two went down to the third floor.
"Did you hear any sound?" Sur stopped a few steps away from the toilet.
Sort of like a mouse, but a bit sharper.
Ji Heng asked him to stand behind him and reached out to push open the outermost door.
Even with someone standing in front of him, the smell of blood couldn't stop it from seeping into his mouth and nose. Su Er frowned, thinking that someone might have died.
Ji Heng didn't stop, but walked quickly towards the innermost private room. There was only the smell of blood, no obvious stench of corpse, proving that the blood had not been there long.
The innermost room was a storage room for cleaning supplies. Mops and brooms were thrown messily to one side. In the middle, a person was kneeling with his back to them, his head stuck in a bucket, and he was not moving.
Ji Heng grabbed the man's clothes and pulled him out. For some reason, the dead man's eyeballs suddenly moved and a tear of blood flowed from the corner of his eye.
There had been many instances of people shedding tears of blood after death, but Soul didn't pay much attention to this and instead stared at the bucket for a while.
Some places are slightly deformed, as if they had suffered a strong impact.
The deceased's face was scratched with a knife, leaving not a single intact spot. A bruise could barely be seen on the corner of his forehead.
"Drowned in a bucket?"
Ji Heng nodded, suddenly narrowed his eyes, bent down and picked up a badge from the gap.
The corpse was completely disfigured, and it was difficult to determine its identity at first. But now that he saw the name clearly, Su Er was stunned: "Jiang Yi?"
The facial contours had long been obscured by blood, but judging from their height and build, they were quite similar.
"But I remember he was wearing a black shirt."
Less than twenty minutes after they separated, Jiang Yi changed his clothes and died in the teaching building. It was really unbelievable.
Chi Chi——
The strange cry appeared again.
Ji Heng pulled Suer back a few steps, and saw that the corpse's belly was bulging and then deflated as if someone was beating a drum or gong.
Suhr: "It seems like something is trying to come out."
Bleeding had already begun to seep from the surface of his skin. In just a few breaths, Jiang Yi's belly was torn open from the inside, and what came out of his belly was actually a fox.
Because its body was covered in blood, its original fur color was obscured. It showed its sharp claws and kicked its legs hard twice, preparing to jump out of the window.
Ji Heng didn't give this opportunity and grabbed the fox's tail steadily and ruthlessly.
The fox was extremely ferocious. There was no intelligence in its eyes, but instead brutality and savagery.
Ji Heng felt Suer approaching and was about to ask him to take two steps back, but he caught a glimpse of the book of answers in the other person's arms and shut his mouth.
"You murderous beast!" Sur looked indignant and made a gesture as if he was going to kick it.
Although animals and humans cannot communicate through language, even the dumbest animals can sense provocation.
Ji Heng loosened his hand at the right time, and the fox suddenly jumped out and grabbed Sul with its claws.
As Soul dodged, he deliberately aimed the Book of Answers at the angle from which the fox was attacking.
With a crackling sound.
The sound of pages being torn open was quite pleasant.
Sur curled the corners of his lips in pleasure. Dongfeng Jushi only said that players should not destroy the Book of Answers, but the current situation was that a mad fox wanted to kill him, causing the Book of Answers to be damaged.
This fox is a member of the game, so naturally it is the game's fault.
Adhering to the idea of not forgetting one's friends when one becomes rich and powerful, Sul raised an eyebrow at Ji Heng... What a great opportunity, hurry up!
Let's try to scam people!
However, before Ji Heng could make any move, a figure suddenly appeared in the toilet, which was not spacious to begin with.
A wheelchair, a cold man, and murderous eyes.
A familiar scene reappears.
Seeing Dongfeng Jushi again, Su Er's heart was calm as water. He immediately changed his face and pretended to be embarrassed: "No..."
"It's not your fault." Dongfeng Jushi said calmly, "Blame me."
The development was so unexpected that not only Su Er but also Ji Heng paid extra attention to it.
Dongfeng Jushi folded his arms casually over his body, his every word a self-criticism: "It's my fault for not explaining the rules clearly. As the host, I was too busy slacking off before taking over the dungeon, and didn't do a thorough inspection, which led to many bugs."
He lowered his eyes to glance at the Book of Answers that had been partially damaged by the claws. He saw a crack in the middle of the hard cover, with some paper scraps on it. At first glance, it looked a bit pitiful and inhuman.
When he looked up again, Dongfeng Jushi's smile didn't reach his eyes: "Report me."
Soul's throat moved: "...Huh?"
"Now, immediately, right away..." Every word was spoken calmly, but a hint of ferocity appeared in Dongfeng Jushi's expression: "If you don't report it, I will kill you!"
He would rather be reported and suspended than spend forty-nine days with this troublemaker.
